Acceleration due to gravity

        Help!  

Question
Answer
A net force causes a mass to ___   accelerate  
🗑
In a = F/m, acceleration is directly proportional to __   (net) force  
🗑
a = F/m or F = ma is a formula developed by this man   Isaac Newton  
🗑
a = F/m or F = ma is the formula representing which law of motion   Newton's 2nd Law of Motion  
🗑
A falling object reaches terminal velocity when these two forces are balanced   weight(gravity on an object) and air resistance  
🗑
Weight is a ___   force  
🗑
In SI, all forces are measured in ___   newtons (N)  
🗑
Constant velocity results when forces are   balanced (no net force)  
🗑
The constant velocity reached by a falling object when forces acting on it are balanced is called ___   terminal velocity  
🗑
The amount of gravity any object has is due to the object's amount of ___   mass  
🗑
In a = F/m, acceleration is inversely proportional to ___   mass  
🗑
The amount of air resistance acting upon an object is based on the object's ___   surface area  
🗑
When a falling object's weight is greater than the force of air resistance the object will be   accelerating by speeding up  
🗑
When a falling object's weight is less than the force of air resistance acting on it, it will   accelerate by slowing down  
🗑
In the absence of air, all objects fall at the ___   same acceleration or same rate  
🗑
This force opposes all motion.   friction  
🗑
The force of gravity on Earth causes an acceleration rate of ___   9.8 m/s squared  
🗑
Adding all of the forces acting upon an object together finds the ___ force.   net (force)  
🗑
Moving at a constant velocity requires forces that are ____   balanced (forces)  
🗑
When all of the forces acting on a body add up to zero, there is no __   acceleration  
🗑
Weight = mass X ___   gravity or acceleration due to gravity  
🗑
acceleration = force divided by __   mass  
🗑
a normal force is a ___ force   support  
🗑
the curved path a thrown or launched object on earth follows is called   projectile motion  
🗑
according to a = F/m, the greater the force applied to a mass, the greater it will ___   accelerate  
🗑
N stands for___   newton  
🗑
He dropped items from the Leaning Tower of Pisa to see if they would land at the same time.   Galileo  
🗑
In SI, velocity is measured in __   m/s  
🗑
The SI unit of length is the ___   meter (m)  
🗑
The SI unit of mass is the ___   kilogram (kg)  
🗑
The greater the mass, the greater the ___ necessary to accelerate   force  
🗑
When forces are balanced, the net force equals ___   zero  
🗑
Force equals mass times ___   acceleration  
🗑
The net force of a falling object is weight minus ___.   air resistance  
🗑
When sitting on a chair, the chair is exerting a ____ force.   normal  
🗑
mass time gravity equals ___.   weight  
🗑
9.8 m/s squared is the acceleration due to gravity on ___.   Earth  
🗑
Earth has more gravity than the moon because of Earth's greater ___.   mass  
🗑
